< Jeremiah 24 >
1 Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim ih capa Jekoniah hoi angmah ih angraengnawk, thing tok sah kaminawk, sum daengh kop kaminawk to Babylon siangpahrang Nebukchadnezzar mah Jerusalem hoiah Babylon ah misong ah hoih pacoengah, Angraeng ih tempul hmaa ah, Angraeng mah, thaiduet thaih benthang hnetto ang hnuksak.
The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs [were] set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
2 Benthang maeto pongah loe, athai tangsuek thaiduet thaih baktiah kahoih parai thaiduet thaih to oh; kalah benthang maeto pongah loe, caak kahoih ai, kasae parai thaiduet thaih to oh.
One basket [had] very good figs, [even] like the figs [that are] first ripe: and the other basket [had] very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
3 Angraeng mah, Jeremiah timaw na hnuk? tiah ang naa; kai mah, Thaiduet thaih, tiah ka naa. Kahoih thaiduet thaih loe hoih parai, kahoih ai thaiduet thaih loe set parai pongah caak han hoih ai, tiah ka naa.
Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
4 To naah Angraeng ih lok to kai khaeah angzoh,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Hae ahmuen hoiah Khaldian prae ah ka patoeh ih misong ah kalaem Judah kaminawk loe hae ih thaiduet thaih kahoih baktiah angmacae hoihaih to hnu o tih, tiah thuih.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for [their] good.
6 Nihcae khosak hoih thai hanah mik hoi ka toep moe, nihcae to hae prae ah ka hoih let han; nihcae to kam rosak mak ai, kang doetsak han; nihcae to ka phongh mak ai, ka thling han.
For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull [them] down; and I will plant them, and not pluck [them] up.
7 Kai loe Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah panoek thaihaih palung nihcae khaeah ka paek han; nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o tih, kai doeh nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han; nihcae loe palungthin boih hoi kai khaeah amlaem o let tih.
And I will give them an heart to know me, that I [am] the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
8 Toe Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah hoi angmah ih angraengnawk, kanghmat Jerusalem kaminawk, kanghmat hae prae thung ih kaminawk hoi Izip prae ah kaom kaminawk loe kasae parai, caak kahoih ai, thaiduet thaih baktiah ka ohsak han.
And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
9 Nihcae raihaih paek moe, sethaih ka tongsak hanah, long prae boih ah ka thak han; ka haek ih ahmuen kruekah, kasaethuihaih, kami mah pronghaih, zoehhaih hoi tangoenghaih a tongh o hanah, nihcae to prae kruekah ka haek han.
And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
10 Angmacae hoi ampanawk khaeah ka paek ih prae thung hoiah nihcae amrosak ai karoek to, sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih to ka phaksak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
